Image quality test results from a second lens are now available on the Canon RF 20mm F1.4 L VCM Lens page.
The first lens's performance was superb, but was it an outlier? With two lenses in the studio, an increased sample size was afforded.
The second lens vs. first lens comparison answers that question.

Physically, the Canon EOS R50 and EOS R50 V appear to be completely different, unrelated cameras. However, their names, differing by only the "V" denoting a video emphasis, suggest a strong relationship.
Image quality is one aspect these cameras share, and entry-level pricing is another. Still, the differences are vast.
Here are the R50 V advantages:
- Greater stills buffer — JPEG 140, RAW 59 vs 42, 7
- Video codec XF-HEVC S/ XF AVC-s vs. MP4
- 4K/4K Crop/ Full HD vs. 4K/ Full HD
- Addition of 119.88 fps
- Standard Intra/ Standard LGOP vs. IPB/IPB Light
- Slow and Fast movie mode
- Cinema View
- Smooth Skin Movie
- 4K Timelapse Movie
- 24-bit 4ch audio vs. 16-bit 2ch
- Tally Lamp/Recording emphasis
- 2 hr Max record time vs. 1 hr
- Movie Color Filters vs. none
- Custom Picture vs. none
- AF working range EV -5.0-20 vs. EV -4.0-20
- Metering range EV -5.0-20 (-2.5-20 for video) vs. EV -2.0-20
- UHS-II SC card support
- Register people Priority
- Detect Priority AE while AF vs. none
- False Color for Movie
- Interval timer built in vs. none
- Headphone Jack vs. none
- E3 remote jack vs. none
- Bluetooth 5.1 vs. 4.2
- Super-Speed Plus USB (USB 3.2 Gen 2) vs. Hi-Speed USB 2.0 USB Type-C
- UVC/UAC, HDMI, Camera connect, Live Switcher mobile vs none
- Smaller — 4.7 x 2.9 x 1.8" vs. 4.58 x 3.37 x 2.71" (119.3 x 73.7 x 45.2mm vs. 116.3 x 85.5 x 68.8mm)
- Modestly lower list price (though discounting may impact street price and reverse this advantage)
Special thanks to Canon USA's Drew MacCallum for providing most of this rather long list.
Here are the R50 advantages:
- Has an EVF
- 1.62 million dot LCD vs. 1.04
- Built-in flash
The controls and control layout are considerably different between the two camera models, including the mode dial optimized for stills or video, and a zoom lever on the R50 V.
The generalized recommendation comes back to the "V". Those primarily interested in capturing video will want the R50 V, and those focusing on stills may appreciate the R50's EVF over the V's advantages.

Image quality test results from a second lens are now available in the Canon RF 14-35mm F4 L IS USM Lens Review.
The first lens was tested on the EOS R5, and the second lens was tested on the EOS R5 Mark II, but the camera difference does not influence these results.
Here is the comparison between the two lenses.
Primarily at question were the first lens's 35mm results. The second lens delivered sharper center of the frame results at 35mm, but the periphery results are not quite as good. The first lens was sharper in the periphery at 20, 24, and 28mm.
